Communications Minister Stephen Conroy will likely release a censored version of Enex Testlabs' report into the technical feasibility of ISP-level internet filtering, in an attempt to minimise the fallout on his political career.
The early signs aren't that promising if the Rudd Government wants to get the private sector to invest in its new $43 billion National Broadband Network.
There is no suggestion even by government that this filter would aid law enforcement, and nobody, including the ISPs themselves, has suggested there is any possibility that the pilot will tell a different story.
The Telstra position is eminently defensible; the prospect of structural separation, legal or practical, is so potentially destructive for Telstra and its shareholders that it couldn't be contemplated.
Australia's largest annual security conference, AusCERT, is underway for another year, and continues the tradition of bringing security gurus, vendors and members of government under one roof.
